Event Schedule

RUNNING BOTH THE 10K & 5K?

If you are running both the 5K and the 10K, you will need to finish the 10K by 9:00 AM so you can make the start of the 5K. The Start Line will be on 6th Street for both races.

After you finish the 10K – DO NOT take a finishers medal! Keep your bib and chip attached. Just head over to the 6th Street to line up for the 5K. Once you finished the 5K, take a finishers medal and feel free to remove your chip and bib.

If you are not registered for both but would like to run both, please bring $10 with you to packet pick-up and we can upgrade your registration at that time.

Pet Policy: Sorry, but you’ll have to leave the pets at home for this race. We all love our animal sidekicks, but sometimes they get a little excited and try to tie up other runners. Don’t worry, they’ll be waiting for you at the finish line!

Course Time Limit: A 90-min (14:29 min/mi) time limit for the 10K and 60-min (19:18 min/mi) time limit for the 5K course will be enforced. Runners who fall behind these cutoffs may be asked to clear the road for their own safety.
